Someone recently asked how to find a font that contains a particular Unicode
character. I don't have an easy answer, but TrueType Explorer (for Windows)
may help:

It reads the tables in your installed fonts (or a drag-and-dropped font that
is not installed), and lets you display and sort the information in various
ways, one of which is a list of fonts sorted by the number of characters
they include in a particular Unicode range.
